In 1981, a lawyer tried to subpoena Ron Paul to testify in the trial of Don Black, a Grand Wizard for the Ku Klux Klan who would later go on to found the white supremacist, neo-Nazi website, Stormfront. Black was charged along with two other Klansmen with planning to violently overthrow the small Caribbean country of Dominica in what they called “Operation Red Dog.” While a judge refused to subpoena Paul, Don Black would come back to haunt him many years later.
In 1981 a group of American and Canadian white supremacists lead by Klansman and mercenary, Michael (Mike) Perdue planned on taking over a small West Indian country called Dominica by overthrowing the government and Prime Minister Eugenia Charles and restoring its previous prime minister, Patrick Johns into power. The group planned to create an Aryan paradise in Dominica and make money through casinos, cocaine and brothels.
On the day the group of white supremacists were supposed to travel to Dominica, they were arrested by ATF agents and were found with over thirty automatic weapons, shotguns, rifles, handguns, dynamite, ammunition, a confederate flag and a Nazi flag. The plan would be dubbed “The Bayou Of Pigs” after the failed invasion of Cuba.
The leader of the group, Michael Perdue, would plead guilty to planning the coup and turned state’s evidence. Perdue would testify that several other people helped organize and fund the coup and that two Texas politicians were aware of the plan. Among those Perdue implicated were infamous white supremacist, David Duke, former Texas Governor, John Connally and Congressman, Ron Paul whom he claimed knew about the plot. Connally was credited with helping Paul win his first congressional election.
A judge refused to subpoena Paul and Connally despite the fact that Perdue had claimed that both of them were aware of the plot. Don Black’s friend and fellow KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke was called to testify before a grand jury but claimed that he would take the Fifth Amendment and never testified. While Duke was never charged with a crime, several books points to Duke as the organizer who connected Perdue to the other mercenary Klansmen and the people who funded their endeavor. (1 2 3) Everyone else implicated by Perdue was charged with the plot.
Perdue implicated three men as funders of the plot, L.E. Matthews of Jackson, Mississippi, James C. White of Houston, and David Duke’s close friend and backer, J.W. Kirkpatrick. Kirpatrick would kill himself before he could stand trial and White and Matthews would be acquitted in court. Former Prime Minister of Dominica, Patrick Johns would be sentenced to 12 years in prison for his part of the plot. Michael Perdue, Don Black and seven other Klansmen would be sentenced to only 3 years in prison.
Ron Paul has never made a statement denying knowledge of the plot despite the fact that he was implicated by Perdue and almost subpoenaed. Two of the people involved in the plot, Don Black and David Duke have gone on to become two of the most prominent white supremacists of the modern era, and also two of Paul’s most controversial supporters.
Top 10 Racist Ron Paul Friends, Supporters
Paul would be once again tied to Don Black 26 years after the Bayou Of Pigs. After it was revealed that Black donated $500 dollars to the Ron Paul Presidential campaign, Ron Paul’s campaign refused to give it back. Paul was photographed with Black and his son by David Duke’s former assistant, Jamie Kelso who was an organizer for Ron Paul and the owner of white supremacist sites, WhiteNewsNow.com and TheWhiteRace.com and a moderator for Black’s neo-Nazi website, Stormfront.
Black would become one of Paul’s most enthusiastic supporters and helped rally the white supremacist community around Paul, through Stormfront. Paul would praise another Operation Red Dog planner, David Duke in his newsletters and Duke would return the favor calling him “our king” and endorsing him for President.
This would not be the first time Paul was tied to white supremacists. In 80s, Paul claimed that the best source of his campaign donations came from a list from notorious neo-Nazi, Willis Carto’s publication, The Spotlight. In the 90s, Paul’s newsletters were originally discovered from an online neo-Nazi directory. As recently as 2006, Paul was scheduled to appear on David Duke’s white supremacist protégé, James Edwards’ radio show, “The Political Cesspool.”
Ron Paul’s White Supremacist Radio Connections
Given the scrutiny given to presidential candidates, shouldn’t Paul’s connection to an attempted violent invasion of a small island by white supremacists be re-investigated. If the media investigates every accusation of affairs or sexual harassment for Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich, shouldn’t they investigate accusations that Paul knew about a white supremacist plot to violently overthrow the government of a small Black island, especially with Paul’s other connections to white supremacists?
Funny how RuPaul easily fits all of those descriptions, huh ?
“Ever thought about directing some of that hate towards the current occupant of the oval office?”
Telling the truth isn’t hate, Paulbot. Jew hater Ron Paul is being exposed for what he is.
“Ron Paul is not a racist or White supremacist. He is a Libertarian and part of the Libertarian idea is small government and limited government power.”
No, accepting donations from Stormfront is a good idea. So is writing moonbat newsletters that say that Mossad bombed the World Trade Center, right ? /sarc.
Tell me, Paulbot, does 2+2=5 ?
(BTW, FR is a Conservative site, not a liberaltarian site. Liberaltarians, with their Cultural Marxism, are just as worthless as liberals.)
“You are wasting your time here. A form of political dementia has overtaken FR, and rational discussion of candidates is not allowed.”
If you’re unhappy with FR, take your liberaltarian rear to Screwy Lewy Rockwell’s crappy sites or go whine about the “Zionists” over at the Daily Paul.
Me too. I thought I knew all about the evil that is Ron Paul, but then Mnehring pulls another rabbit out of his hat!
Expose the old Jew hater!
BTTT!
Heck no, this rocks!
Stupid night shift......I miss out on everything.....
I get a real hoot out of these articles and I hope you’ll continue to post them.
Y’know it’s really something to see the anti- Ron Paul folks getting themselves all worked up about THE PAULBOTS!!!given that the total number of FReepers who openly support Ron Paul is easily less than a dozen.
Wow. A whole dozen FReepers don’t buy into the anti-Paul orthodoxy and you’d think the mongol hordes were invading for the stridency of the comments. Perhaps those of us who do support Ron Paul should take that as a backhanded compliment?
“You are wasting your time here. A form of political dementia has overtaken FR, and rational discussion of candidates is not allowed.”
Yup. I shudder to think what would happen if the howlers actually went out and did something like walk a precinct or work a phone bank. Can you imagine them trying to talk to someone who didn’t already agree with them?
Sure, the field sucks, but what do you do?
Can’t start over. The machine’s too big.
You are illustrating my point. I’ll be voting for Newt (I hope).
Im not sure what that article has to do with the post I made.
Indeed.
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings.
How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).
And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.
Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.
Do it!
Free Mojo!
As for this thread, I see a certain person still has his obsession going. *rolleyes*
Hugs are fine! (but I have to consult my wife for anything more than a virtual hug ;-)
Nice tagline. If you are what represents the conservative cause then go ahead and count me out.
You might have an interest in this thread.
I’m glad you’re voting for Newt, but why badmouth FR ?
A) You have never met me and have no clue about me or my values.
B) Go pound sand, Paulbot.
mnehring unearths some of the best RuPaul research!
